P U 22 L E Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 18,1906. Serial No 317,551.

In the drawing I have shown a number of pieces representing a dismembered human figure, said pieces when placed on the pegs in proper-order making a complete figure; but other figures, such as various animals, may be used without departing from the scope of the invention.

I claim 1. A puzzle comprising a base, a series of fixed pins rising therefrom, and a series of perforated movable pieces adapted to be selectively mounted on said pins.

2. A puzzle comprising a base, a series of fixed pins rising therefrom, and a series of movable pieces representing a dismembered figure inside of the casing, and adapted to be selectively mounted on said pins to form a complete figure.

3. A puzzle comprising a casing having a transparent cover, a series of fixed pins rising from the floor of the casing, and a series of movable pieces inside the casing, and adapted to be selectively mounted on said pins.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, ALBERT D. BENNETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and 1 State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Puzzles, of which the fol lowing is a specification.

This invention is a puzzle, and comprises a box provided with a transparent top and containing a number of fixed pegs and loose pieces which when placed or assembled on the pegs in a certain order form a complete design or figure.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the puzzle solved. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section.

Referring specifically to the drawing, 5 denotes a box of any desired shape, having a transparent or glass top 6. On the inside of the box are a numb er of vertical pegs or pins 7, which are fixed to the bottom of the box. The box also contains a number of loose pieces 8, each of which has a perforation 9, whereby the pieces maybe placed on the pegs, the puzzle being to first disarrange the pieces and then place or assemble them on the pegs in a certain order, so as to form a complete design or figure. This is done by proper manipulation of the box, which requires considerable skill and ingenuity, thereby making the puzzle interesting and entertaining.
